Just thought I’d beat the Cal brigade to it. Crazy tourney.
I'm sure as hell wanting Alabama to lose.
Bama and UT STILL with zero final fours between them 
I don’t think Alabama and Tennessee will ever have this good of a chance again to go to the final four.
Right. I feel like this was Alabamas only year to be able to do it. At least for awhile
glad to see you guys think it's always th coaches fault..even with other teams...players have no responsibility
Still don't want Cal. That much I know for certain!!
Oats purposely fouling the 80% FT shooter down 2 with :47 left is …. Something. What in the actual f*ck.
I liked him until the Miller crap.Totally sold his soul.
Not Cal brigade, but been saying for last two years. 3 or layup MODERN offense will not win NCAAT.
Crazy tourney.
What watered down trash college bball has turned into. Just a mess of a sport.
sure they do because they don’t know squat.
Crazy tourney.
Loss aside, the answer is "Yes" and in addition....Any seasoned HC who puts the UK program-first would be an improvement.
Crazy tourney.
Oats can’t shoot it for them. Right?
He got outcoached badly.
I called it- they’d lose early because of a poor three point shooting night and instead of adjusting they’d just keep firing. Sdsu coach made great adjustment after a Bama run. Oats let the run grow by refusing to call a timeout to get an easy basket and instead … jacked up threes and turned it over.
Calipari has never underachieved this badly with by far the best talent in college basketball.
So the criteria for the next UK coach is that they can never lose a tournament game?
BTW, guess Reeves isn't the only player who couldn't make a shot in a tournament game (Brandon Miller). Pretty obvious but you have to guys that can make big-time shots. Pretty elementary but so true.
If I were Cal I would have next year's team shooting a ton of FTs.

Cal's offensive philosophy is a liability from November to March.
Hard to win 6 in a row. I don't care how good you are.

Agreed. Said this in the game thread.
The product is dog ctap and random teams are winning it all and not the best teams.
Wasn't that "Legend" idiot on Finebaum saying Alabama was the new Kentucky?
Ummm. No.
Ummm. No.
I'm not saying Oats isn't a good coach.
But I am saying I told ya so. He still hasn't made an EE. #1 overall seed. He didn't do crap to adjust this game. He relies on same thing he always has and it is flawed.

Oates and Muss both run spread offense, ball screen, pitch it out for 3. When they run into someone that can stay in front of them they have no answer. They run almost zero offensive plays. They ran a few double screens for Miller and that's about it.
Edit I am ready to move on from what we have so no i'm not taking up for our guy, just my observation of watching them for a few years.

Told my daughter before tourney started I thought Bama wouldn't win it all. Suspected they'd have that one game where 3's weren't falling and Oates wouldn't/couldn't adjust. Analytics are fine and I don't disagree with them, but think Bama could have gotten all the mid-range shots they wanted. And I'm not defending Cal here. As I've said before, I don't hate him and don't think I know more about coaching than he does, but I'm ready for him to go. Just noting that Oates was once the flavor of the month here but he also apparently needs lot of talent to win.
Yeah, Oats would have made sure Reeves made his 3s against KSU like he made Miller make his 3s tonight. lololololololol
